Transport
Osmosis
- Is the spontaneous net movement of solvent molecules through a partially permeable membrane into a region of higher solute concentration, in the direction that tends to equalize the solute concentrations on the two sides.
- It makes it easier for the octopus to move around water.
- The octopus needs water to flow through it body so it can live.
Simple Diffusion
- In a solution or gas that has an area of high numbers of particles and an area of lower numbers of particles, the particles will diffuse/move from the area of higher to the area of lower concentration.
- Example: When harmful gases are added to the ocean water, the gas is highly concentrated in one area. Then diffusion kicks in and the particles move from an area of high concentration to an area of low concentration until it there is an equal concentration throughout.

LIFE CYCLE
- The first thing that happens to the octopus in the life cycle of an octopus is that it hatches from an egg. The young larval octopuses spend a period of time drifting in clouds of plankton, where they feed on copepods, larval crabs and larval starfish until they are ready to sink down to the bottom of the ocean, where the cycle repeats itself.
- A juvenile octopus grows at a rapid rate, perhaps because of its short life span. Extremely effective at turning the food it eats into body mass, a young octopus increases its weight by 5 percent each day.
- Around the age of 1 or 2 years old, the full-grown octopus is ready to mate.
